Fateful Love Episode 22 Recap
> Fateful Love Recap
Han Ziqing fell into the valley, but only Situ Haonan and Nangong Qianqian managed to climb back up. Concubine Qin realized it was time to inform the king, and Xuanyuan Lige also sensed something was wrong, so he quickly made his way over. On his way, he encountered Situ Haonan and Nangong Qianqian and learned that Han Ziqing was still at the bottom of the valley.
Xuanyuan Lige wanted to rush down to save her immediately, but Concubine Qin, the Nanzhao King, and Xuanyuan Zhaoxi arrived. Concubine Qin explained that there was a poison, called Zhang Qi, rising from the bottom of the valley, and anyone who fell in would be poisoned. Attempting a rescue would not only be unsuccessful but would also endanger the rescuer.
Situ Haonan knew they were targeting Han Ziqing and wanted to shout a warning to her about the poison below, but Concubine Qin stopped him. Everyone had their own hidden agendas. At this critical moment, Han Ziqing’s voice suddenly echoed from below, and shortly after, she appeared, acting as if nothing had happened. She asked the group what they were looking for. Concubine Qin, noticing that Han Ziqing was unharmed, brought up the situation, causing suspicion among the group.
Unexpectedly, Baili Weisheng appeared with his master, Changning Yaoshi, claiming that his master had saved the Fourth Princess while gathering herbs at the bottom of the mountain. However, only Baili Weisheng knew that he had overheard Concubine Qin and the Nanzhao King's conversation and intentionally went looking for Han Ziqing. Han Ziqing, being clever, cooperated with Baili Weisheng’s act, playing along for Changning Yaoshi’s benefit, and successfully received the antidote.
On the other side, Jun Beiyue went alone to the icy pool. To his shock, he found many corpses inside, each bearing the Lonely Island totem, some red, some black. The faces of those with black totems were particularly grotesque. As Jun Beiyue ventured deeper, he discovered a person bound inside! Back at the Nanzhao Palace, Concubine Qin and the Nanzhao King insisted on explaining the day's events to the Fourth Prince.
Han Ziqing, however, insisted that Jun Beiyue was still recovering from illness and couldn't meet anyone, which only fueled suspicion. Xuanyuan Zhaoxi directly questioned whether the Fourth Prince was even in his chambers. Sensing the danger, Baili Weisheng quickly shouted that there was an assassin, diverting everyone's attention. However, Xuanyuan Zhaoxi still forcibly entered Jun Beiyue’s room, only to be kicked out by Jun Beiyue himself. His sudden appearance silenced all doubts, and the crowd quickly dispersed.
Jun Beiyue then told Han Ziqing about everything he had seen at the icy pool, even showing her the score he had found for the "Song of Parting Sorrows. " Han Ziqing deduced that there were ten volumes of the score, with six still missing. Elsewhere, Chu Tiange also arrived in Nanzhao.
Chu Feiyan naively believed he had come to take her back to Xiling, but it was obvious he had come for the marriage negotiations between her and the Nanzhao King. Xiling’s national power had significantly weakened, and a marriage alliance with Nanzhao would greatly benefit the country. Although Chu Feiyan was unwilling, she had no choice. This only deepened her hatred for Han Ziqing, and she resolved to kill her.
However, Han Ziqing was unshaken by Chu Feiyan's threats, leaving Chu Feiyan even more furious. The next day was the wedding. That night, the Nanzhao King visited Chu Feiyan’s chamber. Chu Feiyan told him that she yearned for freedom and didn’t want to be bound in the palace like the other concubines. She wanted the freedom to come and go from Nanzhao. Naturally, the Nanzhao King understood that Xiling would no longer take her back.
Chu Feiyan also mentioned Han Ziqing, expressing her hatred for her, and noticed that the Nanzhao King harbored a similar animosity. Seizing the opportunity, she offered to cooperate with him. The next day, the wedding ceremony officially began. Though Chu Feiyan was filled with resentment, she had no choice but to go along with it. During the ceremony, Han Ziqing noticed that the music being played was the "Song of Parting Sorrows.
" Xuanyuan Lige noticed it too and went out of his way to remind Han Ziqing, for which she was grateful. Meanwhile, Jun Beiyue had discovered that the totem was related to an ancient music cave, but entry to the cave was forbidden unless something major occurred. Jun Beiyue was adamant that they had to go!
